Readings are done with your hands in a comfortable position, and the health tracker was able to return our vital signs as well as a fancy ECG graph of our heart in just a few seconds. Out of the box, you’ll be able to pair it with your Wi-Fi scale and fitness tracker, so you can keep an overall picture of your health in the same place …

As you might guess, this kind of tech doesn’t come cheap, with the $199 price of the Wello case possibly having its own effect on your blood pressure.

You’ll also need to be patient if you want to get your hands on one: the case doesn’t yet have FDA approval, and is not expected to go on sale until the fall.

I’m sure you’re someone who is extremely unhealthy and are offended that this kind of tech is becoming a reality, and you are furious anyone would assume you are unhealthy and provide the slightest amount of help. Hahah.

LOL. OK. I’m an Apple Consultant. I am in the process of switching careers from IT to health, because that’s always been my real passion. Most people are not healthy, they are sick. People, like you, don’t know how incredibly sick they are. When you’re truly healthy, THEN and only then will you appreciate just how sick you were.

I saw an app in the App Store yesterday that is able to measure heart rate by placing your finger over the rear camera. You’d think you’d need dedicated hardware for that or something, but it appears not…
